"I am very fond of the Jessica Simpson brand. Her intricate styles and designs for her footwear is second to none IMO. Although I like her shoes, I had never owned a pair until I purchased these. Based on the positive feedback and recommendations by others (who own some of her shoes) I opted to buy a pair. I was looking for a basic black boot and this pair was perfect for Fall or Winter, casual or dressy. Comfortable and trendy...just what I like. Love these boots!!! I want to find an identical pair in a camel color."
